The History:
Born just before midnight on May the 4th, Alexander Marric is the elder of the Marric twins, by only a matter of minutes. Throughout his youth, Alexander was fascinated by knights, and everything about them. Their stories of heroism, bravery, and even the way the way their armor looked. So from a young age, Alexander had decided that he would be a knight. He had always been rather close to his siblings, though none came even remotely close to the bond that Alex shares with his twin, Meera. The two grew up together, and often were seen playing around the castle, whenever their duties permitted. From an early age, Alex also showed interest in learning to read and write. In his spare time, such as after mother had told him to go to sleep, he could often times be found with his nose buried in a book of some sort.


Over the years, Alex grew stronger and quite adept in martial arts. Occasionally he would make time to spend with his younger siblings, and helping with their educations wherever he could. Then the day came for Alexander's Proving. Released into the forest, the boy almost immediately encountered trouble. Not long after he had been left alone, Alexander encountered a lone wolf that seemed to be dead set on having him as a meal. He was able to just barely defend himself, both the wolf and himself were injured in their fight and retreated to recuperate from their wounds. This was not the end of the boy's battle, as on both the second and third day he heard the sounds of something stalking him through the forest. On the fourth day, Alexander was resting to clean his leg wound when the beast suddenly surged into the clearing. Another battle followed, in which both the boy and beast were injured once more. Alexander knew he didn't have long before his wounds would become lethal in this environment, and as such decided to risk travel during the night. The next day, as he sat for a brief rest, his foe appeared once more. Seemingly enraged at being held off twice now. In their fight, the beast pinned Alexander and went for the kill. However the boy managed to drive his dagger through its eye, catching it by surprise. Not long after, the beast was dead. On the sixth day of his proving, Alexander returned home. Dragging a dead wolf, and with wounds covering his body that required immediate attention.


Since that day, Alex has kept the pelt of the wolf as cloak. A trophy of his victory over the beast. The pelt, along with a few scars across his chest and his face are the reminders of his proving. Since then, he had become a sworn shield for House Marric. Taking part in a few battles here and there, earning himself the moniker of fearless, as he stood firm in times others would've ran in fear.

Skills and various Traits:
Alexander is a rather skilled and experienced fighter. His main choice for combat is wielding his bastard sword with a two handed grip. However, Alexander does have experience with using a lance. Alexander usually does not carry a shield into battle, relying more on his armor for protection. Alexander has mastered the usage of his weapon to a good degree. He is capable of fighting from horseback, and has no particular problems with it. When it comes to archery, Alexander is most certainly not the best shot.


Alexander knows a bit about military tactics and strategies, one of his favored fields of study. He likes to read, and has become rather literate in doing so. As such, he is also quite capable of writing. Though some of his siblings do tease him over the quality of his handwriting. Alexander is very patient, and has also learned to keep himself calm during a fight. He is also quite good at reading opponents during combat, telling what they are about to do.



List of weapons.


Name:
Guardian
Description:
A bastard sword forged for Alexander, he has grown very attached to the weapon. Named Guardian because he uses it to protect those he cares about, Alexander makes sure to take proper care of his weapon. Thus it is still in rather good shape. He wields this weapon rather efficiently, preferring a two handed-grip as it puts more power behind his attacks.
Appearance:

Name:
Alexander's Dagger
Description:
A simple dagger which Alex uses as a multipurpose roll. Whatever need he might have for a dagger, this one fits in.
Appearance:

List of armour or attire.

Name:
Alexander's Armor
Description:
Alexander's armor is made from Linen clothing, padded jacket and pants, and a chainmail vest with boiled leather over it. This combination helps lessen damage that blades from slashing through or piercing the armor might cause, as the boiled leather and chainmail work well together, it however does not mean he can be careless. Then the padded jacket and pants help keep blunt trauma from causing too big an issue. He does not wear a cape with his armor, and only sometimes will don the helmet.

[B]Ambition(s):[/B]
- Baylon harbors no political or financial ambitions, his only goal is to make sure house Marric endures. After having survived the grueling campaigns against the fellow Northmen he longs for nothing more than a good death in service to his Lord and to impart what knowledge he can before he dies. -

[hr][/hr]

[B]Personality:[/B]

In his youth it could be said that Baylon was a man of ill repute. To his allies he was a jovial man who always had the best stories to tell with the brightest eyes and smile you'd ever seen. To his enemies he was brutish creature that cared little for anything but the glory of combat. He was often spoken of by high lords and common folk alike as one of the most reckless warriors alive. However it is noted that shortly after the stalemate between the Starks and Boltons that he no longer cared much for war. The new man most saw was one of colder tone. It became rarer to see him smile and no stories flowed from his lips. The eyes that once held fire now held a removed sadness, one that plagued his heart but could not be allowed to plague his mind. Baylon now seemed to avoid conflict as best he could, though when drawn into the fray Baylon is fueled by the beast of his youth.

To those who have known Baylon for some time it is apparent that he had lost something in his past. As a result, his focus became the protection of those closest to him. A trait many could see when watching him interact with the Marric family, often taking pride in his position at their side. His voice is seldom heard until he is asked for an opinion or if he feels it prudent enough to speak. He knows his place in the world and so chooses to stay within it's boundaries as it provides him security. A certain pride can be heard in his voice when he speaks and it's tone carries with it the weight of his many years.

Baylon the Blasphemous has gained a second wind of infamy among the whisperers of Westeros for being a stoic. Shortly after the war he declared himself free of religious ties. He does not believe any gods, benign or malevolent, would create the beasts that come from war.

[FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=5][ History ][/SIZE][/FONT]
[spoili]
[B]The History:[/B]

Baylon was born the son of a whore and criminal. His mother was only in her 15th year when she had him in one of the pleasure houses of White Harbor. She had spent a night with a man whom she didnt know and had been told the child would be the savior of men by this man. The man, Baylon's father, was a branded thief who'd been caught and imprisoned in the Wolf's Den prison. The mother had been told to be rid of the burden but she refused to let go of her child. She was turned away from the pleasure house and the boy was born into the streets. Miraculously the child and mother survived. They lived a number of years eating what they could and stealing what they needed on the streets of White Harbor. Throughout life Baylon's mother told him he was to be the savior of men. It wasnt until adolescence that Baylon ever questioned it. He had visited the Sept of The Snows alone to speak with the septon about his supposed duty to man. The septon shattered the illusion his mother had that he would one day be the savior of men. Telling him he was no more than a bastard of the streets with no divine right. He returned to his mother and denied to he'd even been to the sept, pushing the memory from his mind.

A year passed, his mother and he were in the fish markets of White Harbor finding what they could to eat. Baylon being the ambitious young man he was had been moving quickly through the market and his mother had been lost behind him. Upon realizing her absence he began to search the fish market, moving up and down the lines of stalls. He stayed until the market place had cleared to where only a few beggars and vagrants remained to pick the streets. He scanned the faces of those around him and did not find his mother.

He repeated this every day when the market opened until it closed for the next week. Eventually the realization had set in that his mother was gone. Baylon began his journey here at the age of 13. He made the decision to change his fate. Baylon had grown up hearing the stories coming off of ships about foreign lands and the wonders in them. The young man was in no greater place to make his choice. Through hard work he managed to secure himself a job on a merchant ship named the Sea Snake. After ensuring that he was fed and provided for he began to hone his body, intentionally taking on harder and harder tasks. With time the boy grew into a strapping young man. The street rat that had boarded the ship some five years before was no longer and before the captain stood the form of a warrior. The captain was a Bravoosi from the Secret City by the name of Morrel. He took a liking to the young man and allowed him to carry swords. With time and practice Baylon grew talented with the crude sailor's blade. At 20 Baylon decided he wanted to return to his homeland and search again for his mother.

The captain arranged his manifest in order to set port in White Harbor. Baylon departed and made his way in White Harbor for a time, attempting to find any sign of his mother. The young ambitious man did not stay long however. He was drawn into a mercernary company and spent his youth earning a name for himself across the Northern lands. He became talented with more sophisticated combat while bastardizing the erratic style of the sea captain. It was one day when his company was set against a group of opposing mercenaries that he earned his name. He had pushed himself through the lines and slain a man by driving his sword up and through his gut. The man's entrains had slid down Baylon's blade coating him in red. At the end of the battle the man was hardly recognizable and thus earned his infamy as Baylon the bloody. It was during this time that Baylon founded a small company of his own, the Bloodstained Bastards.

One day him and his odd dozen men happened upon a small farm. On this farm he found a hospitable family, one that at first he sought to take advantage of. However it's said he fell in love with one of the farmer's daughters. The farm was under protection of House Marric. When the wars between the Starks and Boltons sprang up Baylon found himself in service to the Marrics of Frosthold. His talents flourished in this time and he found himself fighting alongside the bannermen of house Marric. His own company dwindled in numbers until eventually dissolving entirely. Towards the end of the war Baylon underwent a drastic change, no longer a bloodthirsty warrior but a reserved and often quiet man. None know what it was that happened and it is likely that will not change. After the war he was called in service to House Marric and he agreed, happy for purpose yet again. He found himself proud to call the Marrics his lords. Having fought alongside the Marric boys he has a great respect for them.

[spoili]
[B]Skills and various Traits:[/B]
He is a talented fighter due to his lack of particular style. He has studied the combat of knights and has since chosen to wield a bastard sword. Baylon adapted his original fighting style to incorporate what he liked from the Northerners hack and slash fighting style. He is proficient with his sword and daggers.

In his youth he was truly a specimen to behold so they say. A burly beast of a man with long locks and dangerous eyes. Nowadays he has slimmed down and come to more modest features. Though he is older his movement has suffered no loss in speed. He can fight hard as any young man for some periods of time but it is difficult for him to remain in the fray.

He does have a beautiful singing voice however it is has not been heard in many years. If one were to catch him walking alone at night or early morning they could hear him sing songs unknown to most.

[ History ]
[spoili]
The History:
Born just before midnight on May the 4th, Alexander Marric is the elder of the Marric twins, by only a matter of minutes. Throughout his youth, Alexander was fascinated by knights, and everything about them. Their stories of heroism, bravery, and even the way the way their armor looked. So from a young age, Alexander had decided that he would be a knight. He had always been rather close to his siblings, though none came even remotely close to the bond that Alex shares with his twin, Meera. The two grew up together, and often were seen playing around the castle, whenever their duties permitted. From an early age, Alex also showed interest in learning to read and write. In his spare time, such as after mother had told him to go to sleep, he could often times be found with his nose buried in a book of some sort.


Over the years, Alex grew stronger and quite adept in martial arts. Occasionally he would make time to spend with his younger siblings, and helping with their educations wherever he could. Then the day came for Alexander's Proving. Released into the forest, the boy almost immediately encountered trouble. Not long after he had been left alone, Alexander encountered a lone wolf that seemed to be dead set on having him as a meal. He was able to just barely defend himself, both the wolf and himself were injured in their fight and retreated to recuperate from their wounds. This was not the end of the boy's battle, as on both the second and third day he heard the sounds of something stalking him through the forest. On the fourth day, Alexander was resting to clean his leg wound when the beast suddenly surged into the clearing. Another battle followed, in which both the boy and beast were injured once more. Alexander knew he didn't have long before his wounds would become lethal in this environment, and as such decided to risk travel during the night. The next day, as he sat for a brief rest, his foe appeared once more. Seemingly enraged at being held off twice now. In their fight, the beast pinned Alexander and went for the kill. However the boy managed to drive his dagger through its eye, catching it by surprise. Not long after, the beast was dead. On the sixth day of his proving, Alexander returned home. Dragging a dead wolf, and with wounds covering his body that required immediate attention.


Since that day, Alex has kept the pelt of the wolf as cloak. A trophy of his victory over the beast. The pelt, along with a few scars across his chest and his face are the reminders of his proving. Since then, he had become a sworn shield for House Marric. Taking part in a few battles here and there, earning himself the moniker of fearless, as he stood firm in times others would've ran in fear.

[ Skills and Gear]

Skills and various Traits:
Alexander is a rather skilled and experienced fighter. His main choice for combat is wielding his bastard sword with a two handed grip. However, Alexander does have experience with using a lance. Alexander usually does not carry a shield into battle, relying more on his armor for protection. Alexander has mastered the usage of his weapon to a good degree. He is capable of fighting from horseback, and has no particular problems with it. When it comes to archery, Alexander is most certainly not the best shot.


Alexander knows a bit about military tactics and strategies, one of his favored fields of study. He likes to read, and has become rather literate in doing so. As such, he is also quite capable of writing. Though some of his siblings do tease him over the quality of his handwriting. Alexander is very patient, and has also learned to keep himself calm during a fight. He is also quite good at reading opponents during combat, telling what they are about to do.



List of weapons.


Name:
Guardian
Description:
A bastard sword forged for Alexander, he has grown very attached to the weapon. Named Guardian because he uses it to protect those he cares about, Alexander makes sure to take proper care of his weapon. Thus it is still in rather good shape. He wields this weapon rather efficiently, preferring a two handed-grip as it puts more power behind his attacks.

Name:
Alexander's Dagger
Description:
A simple dagger which Alex uses as a multipurpose roll. Whatever need he might have for a dagger, this one fits in.

List of armour or attire.

Name:
Alexander's Armor
Description:
Alexander's armor is made from Linen clothing, padded jacket and pants, and a chainmail vest with boiled leather over it. This combination helps lessen damage that blades from slashing through or piercing the armor might cause, as the boiled leather and chainmail work well together, it however does not mean he can be careless. Then the padded jacket and pants help keep blunt trauma from causing too big an issue. He does not wear a cape with his armor, and only sometimes will don the helmet.

@Violet

Great CS. Accepted by me.

@HellHoundWoof
Good work. Though your coding seems a bit off. Try to copy paste the code (in Gero's review post in the spoili) and post it in BB code editor. Sometimes the coding can be a bit wonky when you try to post or edit it in rich editor.

For those who had two accepts for their character sheets, please post your accepted character sheet in this thread. Then your character can be added to the roster and you will be allowed to make posts in the IC.

Personal Motto:
"Quiet ones are the ones to watch for."

[ Personal Information ]

[spoili]
Name:
Ida Torrington

Aliases:
None yet

Gender:
Female

Age:
24, born in 113 BC

Length and body build:
Ida is a fairly average woman, standing at 1.63m/ 5 ft 4 in. Her body is lean with slight curves that are accentuated by the clothing that she wears.

Weight:
62.14 kg/ 137 lbs

Sexuality:
Heterosexual

Religion:
The Seven Gods




Parents:
Richard (Deceased)
Sigrid (Deceased)

Siblings:
None





Appearance:
Ida has long, dark, flowing hair that she chooses to always wear in a braid or pulled away from her face. Her skin is fair and eyes are hazel. While she does wear dresses, her preferred method of dressing is in trousers and a long sleeved shirt that will offer her warmth and protection against harsh weather.



Loyalty:
Marric

Occupation:
Formerly roamed the wild with a group of bandits, used mainly as bait for her cunning ability to lie. Currently employed by the House of Marric as a handmaiden, for now.

Ambition(s):
Her ambition is to rise from being an orphan to, might she dream, a queen. Even if she has to manipulate and lie her way around, she's willing to have plenty of blood on her hands to get what she wants.



Personality:
Ida is a very quiet young woman. She likes to listen and observe all of those around her so that she can know what her next move will be, but she puts up a good front whenever spoken to or actually active in a conversation. She can be very respectful in a conversation and show a great amount of gratitude, or she can be outgoing and bubbly while speaking to someone she seems to be close with, yet still once away from everyone, she goes back to her quiet self until spoken to again.

[ History ]
[spoili]
The History:
Born to Richard and Sigrid, Ida was a very beloved child as she was the only child and what they called a miracle. Her mother and father were common folk that grew crops and sold them for a living. Looking back, she remembers the beginning years of her childhood being filled with laughter and love, up until their farm was raided. Ida was held against her will and watched her own mother and father die before her own eyes before the men inside the house turned their swords towards her. Fortunately, in a way, another bandit walked in before the sword was able to slice through her. It was a rather tall woman with long blonde hair that stopped the murder from happening. Ida was then taken with the group of bandits and forced to live among them for her survival.

As Ida grew, she found herself having to lie in order to be able to get any type of food or coin from the other bandits that she lived in. Always giving half to her new 'mother', the young girl was left with a little and used it to go into nearby towns to get whatever piece of bread or drink she could afford. At times, she'd lie to those in taverns about her life and who she was to get more than needed. As the bandits became aware of her talents, she became the silent thief of her group and the stealing only became more elaborate.

The stealing and thievery carried on for several years until the group of bandits was attacked by men in all black with black flags and no sigils. Having little fighting experience, Ida was able to get by the bloody scene with only a couple scrapes and flee towards the nearest safe haven, which happened to be the House of Marric. This was when she was only 17, and begged for the lords and ladies to find a place in their hearts to accept her. To her good fortune, they took her in as a servant and from there she has gained the trust of those in the house and been a faithful handmaiden for years.

Theme music:
Will find one soon.

Skills and various Traits:
If lying is considered a skill then Ida has mastered it. She also knows how to wield a sword and smaller knives and knows how to use them in case of an emergency. Having been taken while young, Ida does not know how to read or write but is surprisingly well spoken, and knows the difference between a beautiful rose and a deadly wild flower. She has made her own clothes ever since a young child, and can make both clothes for men and women, all with time.



List of weapons.

Name:
-The Sisters-

Description:
The Sisters were gained in a small raid that the bandits managed to get out of successfully. Ida's adoptive mother was able to get the blades and gifted them to Ida, promising that she would never have to worry about a man laying finger on her. She keeps them hidden within the folds of her dresses.

Appearance:
The Sisters are all silver, seven inch blades that are easily concealable as opposed to swords. They are not heavy either but take time to learn how to wield both without cutting oneself.

Even with all of the tornados touching down and the hurricane going on around me, I still went through with the CS! Please let me know if there's anything that needs to be changed. I had no idea how to make my character fit in but I tried!
 
Alright, knocked out my first IC post. Now for dinner in a hurricane.
 
@Wolverbells
The CS looks decent. But I can't see the image of the Sisters, so can you describe their length? (seeing that hiding blades as in swords would be a bit uncomfortable to hide).

Yeah! Give me a second to update it because I currently can only use my phone until I get back home.
 
Also, if you lot want to join the discord or skype do pm me or one of the Gms. Then we can add you to the madness that is either of them.
 
I'm currently in Houston and we've had three tornados touch down so far and the flooding is only getting worse.
No tornadoes yet, though some threats of such. Mostly heavy rain and flooding.
